Chorus:
D G D
Oh shake your head and smile, Immanuel Cant
And the sonnet was a piece upon the floor

It was in the falling rain

Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Cant
G D
If you can't, say you cancel, Immanuel cant
G D
Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Cant
G D
There's some truth inside that Immanuel Cant
And its there for you to crawl around and see
G
It will hang around your find

Like a millstone on your mind
A D
Oh shake your head and smile, Immanuel Cant

If you can't, say you cancel, Immanuel can
G D
Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Cant
